Podcasts about ca school dashboard

A "Field Trip ShortCut" is an individual segment within our monthly half-hour podcast episode. This ShortCut focuses on #CADashboardWeek, a public awareness campaign from Sept. 16-20 that encourages education stakeholders to jump online and navigate the CA School Dashboard, an online tool designed to support continuous improvement efforts.

We travel to the Beaumont Unified School District in west Riverside County to learn about a special instructional tool that's helping district officials and principals examine CA School Dashboard results and other sources of data to strengthen supports for the district's neediest students. Then, we speak with CA Collaborative for Educational Excellence's Executive Director Tom Armelino about the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, how it fits into CA's school accountability system, and whether CCEE has a role under ESSA. Then, we bring you a round table discussion with officials from three state agencies in charge of bringing together what’s called “Lead Agencies" under the new System of Support to help struggling districts.
